There are two specks at the end of the cell and the inner margin is more yellow and crossed by numerous indistinct waved rufous lines. There is also a waved submarginal line and some white subapical spots. The hindwings have a yellow subbasal area, crossed by waved rufous lines and there is a black speck at the end of the cell, as well as a double postmedial line. The area beyond it is yellow, crossed by waved rufous lines. There is a more distinct submarginal waved line and a rufous marginal band from vein 3 to the anal angle.[3]
